Fine rains in this neighborhood

The corn crop is the best for
years, and the yield will be abund-

We can not estimate on the cot.
ton crop this early in the season as
not enough, or too much rain, will
cause it to shed, and the crop to
be short.

As we have trOd the ways of the

who were owners Of exceedingly

our friends think that we ought to
be a red>hot prohibitionist. Per.
haps we ought to head as many ar
ticles on prohibition as the Amer
icus Recorder does with "a. p. Il

prohibition does not prohibit and
we hope that we are two we'll bal
anced to become a crank or fanatic
on the subject. This is sumptu-
airy law which, according to Web

of liberty and of very difficult exc
cution.> We do not think that
sumptuary laws ought to be indulg-
ed in or forced on city, county
State or nation, because when
the law makers of the land once
start on such legislation there is
no telling where il will end. From
prohibiting the sale of whiskey in
certain counties they would take
a step farther and prohibit express
trains from carrying it into said
counties. From this there is a pos
sible chance of them going still
further and making it mlsdemeal
nor for a man to get drunk. Our
legislators have already gone from
whiskey to tobacco and if the ball
keeps rolling there is no telling
how long before the quantity and
quality of our food and rairnent
will be prescribed by the solops of
Georgia. Brother Cook must not

Dramatic Department.

The great production for which
all America has expectantly waited
is Mr.. Wills dramatization of
Faust" presented by that eminent
English artist, Mr.. Henry Irving
and his faithful and versatile coHa6-
orature Miss Ellen Terry, whose con-
summate art and charm has been
fondly remembered oft and again by
the play goer of several seasons ago.
Indeed there are some bold and con-
hdential enough to attribute Mr..
lryings success in past seasons all
most wholly to the.superb work of
his "Ophelia," his "Portia." his
Beatrice" his "Viola." But it is
enough, without detriment to Mr..
Irving, to say that about Miss Terry's
acting there was an inefiable charm
and fidelity and grace which per-
haps served merely to emphasize Mr..
Irving's bold and ine1aceable ner.
sonality.
MI lrvlngs present tour with his
Lyceum Company is to be devoted
mainly to an adoption of Goethe's
much acted and much sung "Faust,
with Miss Terry as an ideal Marga-
ret and MIR. Irving as NIetphistophe-
les, the evil spirit. This will COM
prise the first week ofthe engage-
ment which opens at the Chestnut
Street Opera House next week.
"Erminie" still runs on smoothly
and apparently for ever at the Chest
nut Street Theatre. 1t is now in lis
third week and will run for four
more weeks quite easily for Phila-
delphia's desire for its sweet streams
and pretty faces is quite Unsuitable.
Many Newarkers have enjoyed "Er-
mimic" and theatre parties have
been quite frequent.

Amusements in Manitoba.

During a theatricals mans life he
is apt to find himself in strange
places and peculiar situations. Man
ager Joseph E. Seder, of H. B.
Jacobs Grand Opera House, claims
to be the first man who ever "billed"
the town of Winnipeg, in Manitoba.
He struck the town with the "Big
-Four" combination in the dead of
winter of 1878. Everything was
frozen stiff, "Even your BREATH" he
says, "would almost freeze and drop
to the ground in chunks" When
they started to paste up the bills
they found the paste was frozen
stiff and they had to cut hunks of it
out and use it as like pomatum. A
discovery was then made which
simplifed matters greatly. By driv-
ing a tack in each corner of a poster
and then dashing over it a couple of
dippers of water it was found that it
froze fast. Consequently all the
bills were after that frozen fast to
the bill boards and fences. The
show was held in the town hall, and
owning to lack of dressing-room
accommodations, the company had
to black up in the hotel, and cut
through the streets to the quondam
theatre. At the door the seats were
disposed of in simple manner; each
member of the audiences planked
down two dollars and was given a
chair, which he placed anywhere he
pleased, good many showing a
disposition to camp near the large
red hot stove, which occupied the
centre of the hall,

It is Well to Remember

That happiness is no perfection
unless it is shared.
The great possessions may bring
great misfortunes.
That a foolish friend does more
harm than a wise enemy.
That the hardest thing to empty
out of the heart is conceit.
That it is not necessary to be
mean because one is q man of means.
That good temper, like a sunny
day, sheds a brightness over every
thing.
That one of the causes that leads
us to misfortunes is that we live ac-
cording to the example of Others

sense prevailed and he resumed his
seat. The door closed with bang
behind his wife, and he was left
alone in the room with the dog.
"Old fellow" said Jack, taking the
dogs silky ears in his hands and
looking down into the dogs brown
eyes, "old fellow, things is getting
mighty warm around here, aren't
they ?"
"The dog thumped his tail and
emitted a short bark.
Sand somebody's to blame, eh,

came down stairs. Jack closed the
door and resumed his seat.
"It's raining up stairs. I'm afraid
the little woman will get wet. Now
I'm going to take off my shoes and
see if the roof leaks. You lie right
down here in the corner and keep

speaking to the dog, who skunk off
into the corner in a shame-faced
way.
Then Jack stole softly up stairs
and peeped into the room where sat
his wife with her face hidden in the
bed-clothes. She was sobbing vio-
lently and Jacks heart was touched
Jack walked up to her and placed
his hand upon her shoulder.

"Never mind that little woman.

Jack sat down upon the side of
the bed and drew his wife upon his
knee. She hid her face upon his
shoulder, just as she had often done
in the olden times in the house upon
the Vermont hillside.
"Do you think you can give me
another chance ?" said Jack.
"It was all my fault, jock, and I
am very sorry"

"Oh, Jack |" was the only reply,
